Hash rate going off the charts
If we take a look at the hash rate, it has been constantly rising despite the drop in the bitcoin price. And a rising hash rate shows the profitability of Bitcoin mining keeping the miners engaged.

According to Bloomberg, the CEO of Genesis Mining, Marco Streng,
“There are still major expansions happening, especially from more efficient miners. The expansion is so big that it compensated for the drop-out of not-so-efficient miners.”
David Sapper, the COO of crypto exchange, Blockbid Pty Ltd. shared, “The increased hash rate means people are here for the long-term because they’re happy to just accumulate what they have, potentially even run at a loss.” But it also means sometimes, they have to “clear house and dump” as well.
The winners flying to the roof
However, at the time of writing, the most spectacular performance has been of VeChain (VET) that surged a good 35 percent and reached $0.14.
Ontology is up tremendously with a 51.64 percent rise at $2.40 while Zilliqa (ZIL) is enjoying gains by 32 percent at $0.039.
